Stock Mail app crashes when I try to compose the body of an email.

[AC Question]

I'm using an M8 One, and within the last few days my Mail app has stopped working properly. When I compose a new email I can enter the recipients and subject fine but when I select the body field to start editing the app stops responding and closes. This also happens whenever I reply, reply all, or forward messages since the body field is selected by default. This happens regard of which email account I am using (I have three linked), and has persisted after I cleared my cache, as well as clearing app data. I really do not want to do a full reset if it is avoidable, but I use my phone frequently as I do not always have access to my laptop, or a computer.

This problem seems to result from the latest HTC update to the Webview component. Uninstall that and mail works again. See the "Web viewer and Mail App Crashes" thread in the HTC One M8 forum (new here so I can't post links).
